Description
Environmental encounters, particularly with certain plant species (e.g., Toxicodendron species - poison ivy/oak), can induce significant cutaneous discomfort. AlchePharma offers a professionally formulated topical preparation designed to support skin comfort following such exposures. The AlchePharma Botanical Topical Spray utilizes specific botanical extracts selected for their historical and ethnobotanical relevance in managing localized skin irritation.
This formulation incorporates extracts from Organic Fresh Grindelia Flower (Grindelia spp.) and Organic Fresh Jewel Weed Herb (Impatiens capensis), both recognized in North American traditional practices for applications related to skin affected by botanical irritants. Complementing these is Ethically Wild Harvested Witch Hazel Bark (Hamamelis virginiana), an ingredient widely utilized in skincare for its notable natural astringent properties, primarily attributed to its tannin content. These botanical materials are carefully extracted and preserved in a base solution of Grain Alcohol (50-60% v/v) and Deionized Water. The alcohol component facilitates extraction efficacy, contributes preservative action, and promotes rapid evaporation upon application, resulting in a cooling sensation and non-occlusive finish. The spray delivery system permits convenient, uniform application without direct manual contact, minimizing mechanical irritation to sensitive areas. AlchePharma maintains a commitment to quality sourcing, utilizing certified organic and ethically wild-harvested botanicals.
